County of San Mateo Deferred Compensation Program Participant Survey 2023

130 I'd like the option to invest in Bitcoin. 11/21/2023 4:28 PM

131 There was a change recently that added some additional options such as small cap value, 11/21/2023 4:22 PM
which I was pleased with. But the expense ratios for several of the new options were
completely unacceptable, over 1%. This is totally unnecessary when there are good index
funds available at much lower expense ratios. You should not offer any funds with an expense
ratio over .07 or so. The Fidelity funds are good.
132 We need the choice for ETFs and or self directed brokerage that is not so difficult to apply for. 11/21/2023 4:21 PM
Currently the self directed brokerage has very high fees too.
133 no opinion at all 11/21/2023 4:20 PM
134 Don't know much about the County's program 11/21/2023 4:17 PM

135 I don't know enough about it 11/21/2023 4:14 PM
136 I do not have the knowledge to say otherwise. 11/21/2023 4:13 PM
137 I have very little knowledge of investing and the options provided me, so I cant really say 11/21/2023 4:12 PM
whether they are good or bad.
138 I wish there were more fund options by category to choose from. 11/21/2023 4:11 PM
139 Have you heard of Climate Change? Why are your options forcing investments into oil stocks? 11/21/2023 4:10 PM
You should be ashamed.
140 Would like to see more options for better gains. We don't get enough benefits and pay to 11/21/2023 4:09 PM
survive in the Bay Area.

141 new employee who never got the opportunity to go to new employee orientation 11/21/2023 4:05 PM
142 I have not monitored my plan close enough 11/21/2023 4:05 PM
143 Unhappy with the lack of options for investment this past year. Funds were sold and moved 11/21/2023 4:05 PM
into other investments due to the changes. When looking at the options available, there are a
lot less choices.
144 I don't know anything about how the money is invested. 11/21/2023 4:04 PM

145 Limited options for investments 11/21/2023 4:04 PM
146 I rated investment options as neutral because I'm not very savvy about investment options. 11/21/2023 4:04 PM
147 Neutral. They are doing a great job. 11/21/2023 4:03 PM
148 I have not looked at all the options to invest 11/21/2023 4:02 PM

149 More options from Vanguard 11/21/2023 4:01 PM
150 Plan is very costly, and the investment is not growing. 11/21/2023 4:00 PM
151 There are limited number of investment choices. Also the amount available to put into a 11/21/2023 3:59 PM
brokerage account is also limited (50% I believe).
152 more education on investments 11/21/2023 3:58 PM
153 Don't know enough 11/21/2023 3:55 PM

154 I don't really spend as much time looking at investment options, just choosing a fund that 11/21/2023 3:55 PM
targets my retirement year.
155 How am I supposed to know how your investments are doing. 11/21/2023 3:54 PM

156 I don't know enough to form an opinion 11/21/2023 3:53 PM
157 I don't know enough about investing to have an opinion. 11/21/2023 3:53 PM
158 I don't understand them well enough which is more of a testament to the education portion - 11/21/2023 3:53 PM
would definitely appreciate guidance in becoming more educated in this area!
159 I honestly don't understand investments so I have to trust the plan 11/21/2023 3:52 PM
160 I didnt even know that was an aption 11/21/2023 3:51 PM
